Fulton Bank hired Susan Lonergan as the regional president for the Philadelphia market and the surrounding area, including Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties.

Lonergan joins Lancaster, PA-based Fulton with 30 years of banking experience. For nearly 10 years, Lonergan served as a commercial relationship manager for CoreStates in the Philadelphia market.

Most recently, Lonergan served as the small business strategy and planning executive for Bank of America. In that role, she led the effort to integrate sales channels and product teams, advance referral strategies across lines of business and improve product delivery to small businesses.

Throughout her 18-year tenure at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Lonergan progressively advanced in her responsibilities, serving as a regional sales manager for the Mideast and Northeast regions, director of advisory and client experience, and president and COO of Merrill Lynch Credit.

“We’re very pleased to welcome Susan Lonergan to our team,” said Craig Roda, chairman and CEO of Fulton Bank. “Susan has a proven track record of building and motivating teams to provide outstanding service to customers and grow relationships. Her leadership, wealth of experience and drive to meet the needs of customers will help Fulton Bank expand its presence in the Philadelphia and Southeastern Pennsylvania markets.”
